Thanks for that, I wasn't aware that not all the functionality of the inverter was subjected to approval. To be frank, safety approval seems to be a pretty sketchy process if it does not cover all safety-related issues with a bit of kit. As a consumer, who spent a not inconsiderable amount of...

Very many thanks for chipping in, Mike, it's much appreciated. I've been going doolally with all the conflicting "advice" I've been given, especially that from Sofar in China, who seemed intent on getting me to buy their latest model and bin the 3 year old ME3000SP (that has worked very well...
